3 customer reviews
best bass ever,with two dd15+.have volume at 3 and you get amazing and quick bass,my main speakers sound much better than when i had a dd18.this is a great upgrade!
Poor software limitations - a step backwards
Velodyne really missed the boat on the software, arbitrarily limiting the low pass filter to 40hz with the DD-15+. Those of us with full-range speakers that desire a bit of reinforcement in the deep bass are forced to compromise by this artificial limitation.
The prior DD-15's software DOES allow the low-pass filter to be user-set down to 15hz. It a shame that in order to get increased functionality, I HAVE TO GO BACKWARDS AND USE MY DD-15 BECAUSE I CAN'T GET VELODYNE TO PUT THE SAME FUNCTIONALITY INTO THE DD-15+. A SUPPOSEDLY MUCH MORE ADVANCED SUB.
I have owned Velodyne subs for over 20 years now and customer service has been great, UNTIL NOW. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT IN ORDER TO RESTORE THE FUNCTIONALITY THAT THEIR PRIOR PRODUCT HAD TO THE NEW (dd-15+) SUB THAT I ALSO OWN, IT WOULD TAKE "CUSTOM SOFTWARE", WHICH THEY DON'T DO. THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND HAVE CHOSEN TO IGNORE IT.
I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AT VELODYNE's decision to do nothing.
Fishing for the perfect Bass
First, I would like to say I am a long time fan/customer of Velodyne. I owned the original ULD 15 series one until it died about a month ago. I was so sad...I just loved that sub. After a month of whining, I convinced the boss (wife), to let me purchase the DD 15+. I have owned it a little over a week and wanted to comment on just how grand this sub is.
Looks-Gorgeous cherry veneer. I think the black finish is more popular but, don't shy away from the cherry. It is a stunning finish integrating well with my other fine furniture.
Set-up- It took only a few minutes to hook up the mic and use the Auto-EQ. WARNING- Don't crank up your amp when playing the supplied EQ CD. The sub may shake the stucco loose from the outside of your house.
Sound- I am no expert by any means. I mainly listen to acoustic jazz, rythmic vocals, and some older oddities. I cannot compare this to other brands as once I found Velodyne, I never felt the need to look elsewhere. Oh yeah, the sound, well it blends so seemlessly with my B&W 805S speakers, it is just amazing. The bass is deep and tight as expected. What I didn't expect, this sub has punch. By that I mean, fast accurate bass response when called for usually an attribute found in smaller bass drivers. I played one of my favorite CDs for this purpose, Flim and the BB's Tricycle. The kick drum on this recording is outrageous. The DD-15+ sings this album as it should be heard with accuracy and impact. Listen to an upright bass recording with this unit. You will be amazed at the realism. Not that I have heard many other brands, but from what I have heard, nothing came close to matching the accuracy, depth and musicality of Velodyne. Compared to my ULD 15, this bass kicks it across the room. Its not cheap, but here, you definitely get what you pay for. Well worth the investment. I could gush on for days, but I'll stop now...and dust off the vinyl. I caught a keeper.

Maths results gap 'widens with age'
England's brightest youngsters are two years behind the best pupils in nations such as Hong Kong and Taiwan in maths by the time they are 16, new research shows.
It reveals that England's cleverest pupils can match their peers in leading East Asian countries at the age of 10, but then begin to fall behind.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
Researchers suggested that more needs to be done to ensure the most able pupils are able to keep pace with the highest achievers in other countries.
The study, by researchers at the Institute of Education, University of London, looked at the children's maths achievement in two international studies, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).
Ministers have raised concerns about England slipping down international rankings - coming 28th in maths in the PISA 2009 tests.
The researchers analysed TIMSS maths tests taken by nine and 10-year-olds in 2003 and by 13 and 14-year-olds in 2007, and PISA maths tests taken by 15 and 16-year-olds in 2009.
The study concludes that the gap between the top 10% of pupils in England and the highest achievers in East Asia widens between the ages of 10 and 16.
The study also found that England's most able youngsters make less progress than those of similar abilities across all the 12 other countries studied as a whole. The other 12 countries studied were Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Slovenia, Norway, Scotland, the United States, Italy, Lithuania and Russia.
The researchers concluded that England should focus on helping all youngsters with their maths skills at an early age. The report says that English policymakers should concentrate on reforming maths in the early primary, and pre-school years, as well as ensuring that the brightest youngsters are stretched in secondary school.
Education minister Elizabeth Truss insisted that the report was a "damning indictment of Labour's record on education". She said: "This Government is clearing up Labour's mess. Our reforms - tougher discipline, more rigorous exams, more freedom for headteachers, a more demanding curriculum and higher quality teaching - will drive up standards so our pupils have a first-class education that matches the best in the world."

Astronomy & Geophysics
The Royal Astronomical Society is proud to present its 'house journal', Astronomy & Geophysics. The primary objective of the Journal is to promote communications among and between astronomers and geophysicists. It contains scientific articles on major developing themes in astronomy and geophysics in succinct, readable and accessible form.
Astronomy & Geophysics will continue many of the traditions of the former Quarterly Journal of the RAS, acting as a forum for the discussion of fundamental and controversial scientific matters. In addition, Astronomy & Geophysics will include topical articles in areas such as interdisciplinary research, science policy, news, opinions, correspondence, book and software reviews, Society communications about events and people and obituaries. The Journal will also act as a channel of communication between the membership, the Council and the Society's Officers.
Astronomy & Geophysics is very much more than a house journal: it aims to improve communication within the wider international astronomical and geophysical community. Contributions are welcome, from RAS members and non-members alike. It will be a shop-window for short communications about the best and most exciting work in astronomy and geophysics. It is your chance to keep on top of research in a wide range of fields and to gain a higher profile and greater exposure for your research.
Notes for contributors to Astronomy and Geophysics
Astronomy & Geophysics is a journal for the publication of serious scientific articles of interest to a broad range of astronomers and geophysicists. Contributions can take the form of Review Articles (up to 5000 words), Articles (up to 3500 words), News and Correspondence (100-500 words). Articles and Review Articles are subject to peer review. Contributions for publication should be submitted to the Editor:
Submission on disk is also welcome. Authors should avoid unnecessary formatting. Whatever submission route you choose, Word6 files are preferred; otherwise use plain ASCII or text-only formats. Copy in TeX and LaTeX is acceptable; again, avoid complex formats.
Astronomy and Geophysics can also accept contributions submitted on paper alone: a clean printed copy suitable for scanning is preferred.
Submission implies that the manuscript has not been previously published nor currently submitted for publication elsewhere. On acceptance of a manuscript, authors are required to transfer the copyright to the RAS. Articles and Review Articles can cover any topic likely to be of interest to members of the RAS. You should introduce material at a level comprehensible to a final year undergraduate in the subject, but should not limit discussion to this level. Editorial policy is to encourage contributions of accuracy and scientific authority over a wide range of interests, with a topical slant where feasible. The Editor welcomes lively writing and a variety of personal styles, but reserves the right to reject material that is unsuitable.
All manuscripts must include a brief, informative abstract of about 150 words, stressing the significance of key points. The body of the text should be divided into sections as appropriate, without numbering. Headings should be set out clearly. Do not give cross-references by page number, but use terms such as 'above' or 'below', with the section specified where possible. Use SI units where appropriate and explain acronyms as necessary.
Please keep copies of manuscripts on disks to guard against loss or mishap. The edited text is sent to authors for approval; corrections and changes must be returned promptly. If the author will not be available, they should ensure that someone else will be able to check the proofs.
Illustrations, both images and diagrams, are welcome and some colour will be available for appropriate material. Ideally authors should submit a small number of high quality illustrations. The Editor has discretion over which to accept: the main criteria will be content and quality. Illustrations should be sent digitally where possible, using tiff format. Authors should also send printed copies to aid filing. Prints of photographs are also suitable, provided they are high enough quality. Number figures in sequence and put the main author's name and the figure number on the reverse of printed copies. Refer to figures in the text by number, e.g. figure 5.
Give brief but fully informative figure captions in a separate list at the end of the text, rather than attached to individual illustrations. Figures should be self-contained, with information such as the scale given within the artwork rather than in the caption. Authors should bear in mind that text on figures should be readable at the final size.
References should follow the style of Monthly Notices of the RAS, giving abbreviated journal title and first and last page numbers. In the text, references should cite authors, using et al. where there are three or more authors. References to larger works such as books should include the page number where possible. Authors alone are responsible for ensuring that their references are correct. A few broad references are preferred to many detailed citations.
Tables should be printed clearly on sheets separate from the main text. Number them in sequence and provide each with a brief, informative title. Rapid publication Astronomy and Geophysics can provide rapid publication for topical articles: at the Editor's discretion, articles can be published within two months of submission of the manuscript. Astronomy and Geophysics welcomes such topical articles and authors who may have suitable subjects are encouraged to contact the Editor as early as possible.
A&G News pieces are shorter items of topical interest, reports on major international meetings, summaries of advances in specialist fields and so on. Articles should be between 200 and 800 words long, with an illustration if suitable. They should focus on topical issues and happenings, making the key points intelligible and easy to read for the membership as a whole. Suggestions are welcome: please contact the Editor.
A&G Views publishes scientific correspondence, discussion of issues raised in this publication and elsewhere and personal opinions, at the discretion of the Editor. It is a forum for discussion of RAS matters and issues from the world of astronomy and geophysics in general. Timely correspondence on articles published in Astronomy and Geophysics is welcome, as are letters on other issues of interest.
Articles for publication in either of these sections may be submitted electronically without the need for hard copy. Authors will need to assign copyright to the Society in the usual way before publication.
18th November 1996

Meet American Idol Guest Judge, Olivia Newton-JohnMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Olivia Newton-John sat in as a guest judge during American Idol tryouts in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and had nothing but kind words for the hopefuls.
"Some of them are very young and they're green, but you can see their potential," she told People Magazine. "They have a different voice or a different way of presenting themselves."
Her advice for American Idol aspirants? Roll with what comes your way. The sting of rejection can be "terrible," she says, but sometimes it's for the best.
"I always remember what it was like for me and what it would have felt like to be told no. So I do feel for them. It's hard. But sometimes it's probably kinder for them, because they won't pursue something they don't really have the talent for," she said.
Newton-John joined the show's regular judging trio and host -- Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Ryan Seacrest -- at the third-round auditions, where she was presented with a cake for her birthday.
The FOX talent show returns for its sixth season in January. Other celebrity guest judges for the current round of auditions include Jewel in Minneapolis and songwriter Carole Bayer Sager in New York City.

A chest tube is a plastic tube that drains air or extra liquid from the space between your lungs and chest wall. This area is called the pleural (PLOO–ral) space. It is normal for a thin layer of fluid to be present in this space. If the space fills with too much fluid, or with air, the lung can collapse. When a chest tube is in place, the air or extra fluid drains out of the pleural space through the tube. When the air or excess fluid is gone, your lung can expand. You will be able to breathe better.
Some of the problems that can cause air or too much fluid in the pleural space are:
Other problems also can cause fluid to build up in your chest cavity.
A chest tube can be put in while you are in your hospital room. Some patients receive a chest tube in the operating room. If a chest x-ray shows that there is air or fluid in your pleural space, you may have a chest tube inserted while you are in the radiology department.
You may be given medicine to help you relax. You will be sitting up or lying on your side. One arm will be raised over your head. The area where the tube is to be placed will be cleaned. You will receive a shot to numb the area. This may cause a burning feeling at first. This will go away as the area becomes numb.
Your doctor will make a small cut and put in the chest tube. He or she will make a small stitch to hold the tube in place. A bandage will be placed over the tube at the insertion site. The tube will be attached to a drainage system.
You will have chest x-rays while the tube is in place. The x-rays will help the doctor know when all the air or extra fluid is out of your pleural space. The x-ray will also show how well your lung is expanding.
Your chest tube will be connected to a long, flexible tube. This tube will be attached to a drainage container at the side of your bed. The container may already be partly filled with sterile water.
You may need suction to help drain your pleural space. If this is the case, your chest tube may be connected to suction coming from the wall in your room. You may notice a bubbling sound from the suction.
Some people do not need suction for their chest tube. If this is the case, your chest tube will be connected only to a drainage system. Drainage will occur by gravity.
If you have any of the following problems, tell your nurse right away.
Tell your nurse if you have pain or discomfort. Pain medicine will most likely be available.
Important information
You will probably be in bed in your hospital room when the chest tube is taken out. Your doctor will tell you how to breathe as the tube is being removed. After the tube is taken out, you will have a sealed bandage over the insertion site. The bandage will stay in place for a few days. Your doctor will tell you when the bandage can be taken off. You will receive instructions on how to care for this area.
Some patients may need to leave the hospital with the chest tube still in place. Before you leave the hospital, your doctor or nurse will teach you how to care for the chest tube. Ask your nurse about home care services to help you take care of your chest tube.
Ask your doctor if you will need any additional care or instructions after you leave the hospital.

Assistant professor reports on social studies K-6 instruction
Finds indications of inconsistent instruction across grade levelsUniversity of Hawaiʻi-West Oʻahu

Posted: Nov 17, 2009
In a recent report on whether students are getting the optimal instruction in social studies, UH West O'ahu Assistant Professor Paula B. Mathis finds the results may not be encouraging. In her recently published article in the Social Studies Research & Practice Journal titled "Who is Teaching Social Studies? Pre-Service Teachers' Reaction," Mathis reports the results of pre-service teachers' reflections with regards to observed social studies instruction in kindergarten through sixth grade.
Reflections indicate that social studies is taught inconsistently across grade levels, best practices were not used for instruction, and there is a trend toward decreased social studies instruction. Classroom teachers exhibited frustration because of these issues.
The Social Studies Research and Practice Journal is a peer-reviewed, electronic journal that focuses on providing a venue for P–16 social studies research and practice manuscripts, lesson plans, reviews, and issues related to higher-level learning outcomes. The article may be viewed at http://www.socstrp.org/issues/showissue.cfm?IssueID=12&VolID=5
Paula B. Mathis is an assistant professor of Elementary Education at UH West O'ahu. Her research interests include identifying ways to use culturally responsive materials to stimulate classroom discussions, awareness and appropriateness regarding various cultural contributions to academic learning and comparing in-class social studies best practices to current social studies practices with regard to the No Child Left Behind Act.
About UH West O'ahu

We are testing some of them for your convenience as we speak and the first impressions are positive. As you can imagine, overclocked cards are on the way as well, so there will be some news about them as well.
It turns out that GTX 780 cards are available at least at press time in the US. Newegg and Tigerdirect have them in stock. Cards from EVGA, Galaxy, MSI, Asus, PNY, Gigabyte and Zotac are available and they all range close to $649.99 plus a few bucks for shipping. Some of them are up to $10 more expensive, which is not that much of a difference. You can find them listed here and here.
The situation is also good in the EU and UK, we have managed to find a few cards listed. Alternate has these cards around €650 with VAT here and cards such as Gainward GTX 780, EVGA, Palit, Gigabyte and Zotac are selling today at this price.
While the UK version starts from £569.99 inc VAT and some cards such as KFA2 GeForce GTX 780 3072MB PCI-Express Graphics Car are in the stock here. Gainward also sells its cards for £569.99 inc VAT and it is listed for pre-order item. Most of the others are listed as pre-order items and will sell for £599.99 including VTA.
Overall, the cards were expected to land a bit cheaper, but obviously Nvidia told its partners that they can try and make a bit more money to make up for the losses with slow graphics card sales. The overclocked cards as you can imagine will cost even more across the globe.

This week, the Piaggio group, which owns several brands including Aprilia & Gilera released its 2009-2012 strategic plan, where it told investors that the company intends to develop a range of sports bikes with mid-sized engines for the American market.
What that means exactly is fairly vague, as no other details beyond this simple statment were given, "The Group intends to work on the growth of different brand names, also through the development of sport bikes with mid-sized engines."
Many have speculated that this means that Aprilia will be releasing a 600cc sport bike to go along side its RSV4, and that seems like a fairly logical conclusion.
And then, we remembered this rumor from last year, Gilera 600cc Supersport 2009 Fact or Fiction?

Special Apartment Listings in, Tulsa, OK
Special Apartment Listings in Do you need more apartments? We have 1000's to chose from. History of Apartment Locating: Have you ever searched for an apartment on the Internet and got listings for an "Apartment Locator?" You may be offered the promise of a "Free Service". Is Free really Free? In 1959, Apartment Selector was founded by Cecil Laughlin, Jr. to be a free service to renters. Owners and managers of apartment communities agreed to pay a small fee to meet new clients. So Free does mean Free. There is no fee for the service and the rent and offerings made by communities are similar to those you would find advertised by other services. An apartment locator is a person who will match your apartment needs with available apartments by searching their extensive database of hundreds of apartments available. The matching of needs with available units is what apartment locators do. Some major reasons to consider the services of an apartment locator. 1. Save your time- Why: we know the areas, the apartment properties, many apartment property managers personally, so they can check for up to the minute availability on apartments that meet your criteria. 2. Save you money– Why: you save on driving around to communities not matched to your needs and you will learn about apartments offering incentives such as free rent or low deposits. 3. Save you mental stress– Why: you tell one person what you need one time. Locators get results fast, free and easy. Ask about the "Valet" service. Letting someone else do the driving is especially welcome when the alternative is navigating around an unfamiliar city.

Reservations please call: 1-888-297-2757 or (303) 297-27571-888-297-2757 or (303) 297-2757
The mules are carefully selected for strength, endurance, and temperament. They are thoroughly trained by the guides so that they are well adapted to the unique environment and work situation of the Grand Canyon. Although we have 80 years of experience in working with mules, they are animals and not always predictable. The restrictions we place on the rides are intended for safety and to avoid distracting or disturbing the mules. There is always an element of risk due to trail conditions, other trail users, and sudden appearances of wildlife native to the Grand Canyon. While serious accidents or injury seldom occur, risk is minimized by carefully following the Trail Guide's instructions.
Many riders will experience a greatdeal ofsoreness after having been on mules in the Grand Canyon all day. It is suggested that you not plan heavy activities for the day after your mule ride.
Mule Rides are available on a limited basis.You should make your reservations for the overnight tour 13 months in advance on the first day of the month you want the tour. Canyon Vistas rides should be reserved 6 to 8 months in advance.

The detection of somatic point mutations is a key component of cancer genomic research, which has been rapidly developing since next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology revealed its potential for describing genetic alterations in cancer. We present MuSE, a novel approach to mutation calling based on the F81 Markov substitution model for molecular evolution [1] , which models the evolution of the reference allele to the allelic composition of the matched tumor and normal tissue at each genomic locus. To improve overall accuracy, we further adopt a sample-specific error model to identify cutoffs, reflecting the variation in tumor heterogeneity among samples.

After downloading the source file, for Unix-like operating systems please type the following commands sequentially in the command line to generate the executable:
For Windows, please install Cygwin ( http://www.cygwin.com ) first, which provides functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows. The following procedures are the same as above.
MuSE is comprised of two steps, which requires
The first step, 'MuSE call', takes as input (1) and (2). The BAM files require aligning all the sequence reads against the reference genome using the Burrows-Wheeler alignment tool (BWA), with either the backtrack or the maximal exact matches (MEM) algorithm [2] . In addition, the BAM files need to be processed by following the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK) Best Practices [3-5] that include marking duplicates, realigning the paired tumor-normal BAMs jointly and recalibrating base quality scores.
To speed up 'MuSE call', we recommend splitting the WGS data into small blocks (<50Mb) by using the provided option either '-r' or '-l', and concatenating all the output files by the Linux command CAT.
The second step, 'MuSE sump', takes as input the output file from 'MuSE call' and (3). We provide two options for building the sample-specific error model. One is applicable to WES data (option '-E'), and the other to WGS data (option '-G').
The following commands briefly illustrate how to use MuSE. As to the preparation of BAM files, please refer to the first part, PRE-PROCESSING, of the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK) Best Practices ( http://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/guide/best-practices ).

GREENWICH VILLAGE — Broken machines snarled attempts by local voters to cast their ballots on Election Day at one location that saw a huge turnout early Tuesday morning.
Four out of the five scanning machines at P.S. 41 on West 11th Street stopped working, creating sluggish conditions for the 800 or so who arrived at the polling site within the first two hours of opening Tuesday, workers explained.
"It's been pretty crazy here," said polling coordinator Trammell Hudson, noting turnout had been tremendous as of Tuesday morning. "I came in at around 5:30, and a line was already forming."
While many voters leaving the poll site at P.S. 41 said the process went smoothly enough, some residents complained about a long line at the only operating scanning machine.
"It's taking people a long time to get through," said Keen Berger, a democratic district leader who was working at the poll site on Tuesday morning. "Some of the scanner machines are broken, and we're trying to get them fixed."
Another polling site at the LGBT Community Center, located at 208 W. 13th St., saw similar turnout, said the site's polling coordinator, Jacqueline Kirk. She reported a turnout of about 1,000 people by 8 a.m., not including hundreds more who were waiting in a line that wrapped around the entire block and spilled out onto Seventh Avenue.
However, this type of turnout is normal on the morning of a general election, she said.
Still, the technical issues weren't enough to faze local residents who were eager to cast their vote on Tuesday morning, with some willing to endure up to an hour-long wait to cast their ballots.
"It's insane in there. Let's see, I got here at 6:30, and I waited about an hour before I got to vote," said Peter F., a West Village resident who declined to give his last name.
"I waited in line for about 25 minutes," added Bob Raicht, 51, a West Village resident. "[The experience] wasn't great, but better than I've seen in the past. [The poll workers] were trying their best to make the line go faster."
Although many residents said they arrived at the sites early in order to beat the rush, the morning is usually the busiest time on Election Day, Berger said.
"In this neighborhood, people are very eager to vote," she explained. "They get here early, because they want to make sure their votes count."

Market Basket orders employees to return to work
By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader

NH, Mass. AGs warn Market Basket about firings, suppliers
Whole Foods plans to open Bedford store next year
Market Basket community waits and watches
Market Basket's co-CEOs said employees who are skipping work shifts can return to their jobs "without fear of penalty" — provided they return on Monday — and that the company also will begin advertising to hire replacement workers as needed, according to a statement released Wednesday by CEOs Felicia Thornton and James Gooch.
A family feud among Market Basket shareholders has led to customer boycotts, picketing workers and limited food deliveries to stores, causing many shoppers to deviate from their normal weekly routines. Some workers haven't returned to their jobs while others have joined picket lines outside stores during their off-hours.
A top organizer of the worker movement said the CEOs have tried unsuccessfully several times to convince workers to return to work.
"It's just a threat and that's all it is," said Steve Paulenka, a Londonderry resident recently terminated by Market Basket. "They have no clue on who they're dealing with."
The full statement from the CEOs reads:
"We want Market Basket associates back to work and reiterate that they can return without fear of penalty. We again acknowledge and understand how difficult this situation has been for associates. However, we also need to have associates working to support stores, customers and vendors.
"We need associates to return to work on Monday, August 4th. We understand that some associates may choose not to return, consequently we will begin advertising for employment opportunities. Our hope and strong preference is to have Market Basket's incredible associates return to work. Again, any associate that wants to return will be welcomed and not penalized."
A blog post on the wearemarketbasket.com web site, which has served as a voice for the employees during the dispute, said the job fair is an effort "to replace, not only the people at the warehouse, drivers and office personnel but also Store Directors and Asst Managers.
"This latest group is an interesting turn since zero Store Directors or Asst Managers have walked off the job," the post continued. "The fact that their stores are empty of products is not their fault they haven't been getting deliveries.
"When the warehouse associates and drivers walked out almost two weeks ago F&G (Thornton and Gooch) immediately replaced the drivers with temp drivers and temp selectors in the warehouse. So why haven't the loads been getting to the stores? Because these temporary drivers and selectors can't hold a candle to our drivers and selectors. Our grocery warehouse alone pumps out a million cases of product a week and yet these temps can barely manage 15 deliveries a day compared to the 120 deliveries a day that is average for our dedicated workers," the post read.
The company will hold job fairs next week at its IT computer center in Andover, Mass.
On Monday and Tuesday, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., existing employees can seek to change positions and first preference will be given to them. On Wednesday, non-employees can inquire about openings from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The supermarket chain employs about 25,000 workers and operates 71 stores in New England, including about 30 in New Hampshire.
Employees are demanding the return of ousted CEO Arthur T. Demoulas.
The company's board said it is mulling multiple offers to sell a controlling interest in the supermarket chain, including a bid by Arthur T. Demoulas.
Paulenka said some employees are working their normal hours while others are staying off the job.
"Everybody got paid last Thursday and I expect everybody's going to be paid this Thursday, except for office people," he said.

Pricing of the i newspaper: Editor on why 20p, and not free
The editor of the i newspaper, Stefano Hatfield, was asked at the Society of Editors conference today why the newspaper was priced at 20p and not given away free.
The i first launched in October 2010. Now, more than two years on, Hatfield said the pricing point "works both to establish a quality proposition and it's also helpful in supermarkets establishing a value proposition".
If you'd have gone free, in consumers mind [it would have] immediately been up against Metro and we didn't want to be up against Metro, we wanted to be up against the Guardian, Times, Telegraph.
He added that when the newspaper is sold in supermarkets, therefore, the 20p pricing "is an advantage".
He added that the "key thing is it's an active choice to purchase the paper … rather than having it just given to you."
The latest results from the Audit Bureau of Circulation, which published national newspaper circulation reports for October on Friday (9 November), showed a 44 per cent increase year-on-year in average daily circulation for the i, which reached 304,691 in October this year.
This also represented a 7.7 per cent increase month-on-month.Tags: i newspaper, newspaper, Society of Editors conference

By Julie Gordon
TORONTO (Reuters) - Ask the new wave of Canadian directors why they're getting calls from Hollywood and the answer is easy: Canada's thriving film industry has allowed them the freedom to tell the stories they want to tell, in the way they want.
In a Hollywood built around commercial success - often at the cost of originality - Canadian directors are now bringing their voices to major feature films. So far, the response has been good.
Awards season buzz is already mounting around two Hollywood-backed efforts, Denis Villeneuve's "Prisoners" and Jean-Marc Vallee's "Dallas Buyers Club," which both premiered to strong reviews at the 38th annual Toronto International Film Festival.
"I think we're at the start of something really great," said Michael Dowse, who directed "The F Word" and co-wrote "The Grand Seduction," which both premiered at the festival. "I think it's a sign of our system nurturing directors and letting them tell stories that aren't necessarily hinged on being completely commercial."
So while previous generations of Canadian filmmakers like Norman Jewison and Paul Haggis packed up and moved south to pursue their dreams, the strong local industry has home grown directors now choosing to stay put.
Vallee, who broke out with the 2005 French Canadian feature "C.R.A.Z.Y.," has since made films in the United States, Britain, France and at home in Quebec, a home he has no plans to leave.
Villeneuve, meanwhile, brings his first Hollywood effort to the festival with the intense thriller "Prisoners," while also displaying his distinctly Canadian, art-house voice in the doppelganger drama "Enemy."
That ability to appeal to a variety of audiences is the forte of the current generation of Canadian filmmakers, said Cameron Bailey, the festival's artistic director.
"I think when filmmakers are talented enough and skilled enough, they will be able to work wherever they choose to," he said.
"These great directors, who began their careers in Canada, are not just moving south of the border, but they are working across the border, back and forth," Bailey added. "I think that's going to be the future of Canadian filmmaking."
Indeed, Canadian films have never looked stronger, and a healthy injection of big-name Hollywood stars is helping broaden that appeal, especially in the comedy genre.
"The F Word," which stars A-lister Daniel Radcliffe as a medical school drop-out who falls for an animator played by Zoe Kazan, was well-received by critics at the festival and CBS Films has already snapped up the U.S. distribution rights.
A testament to the evolving local film industry, the crowd-pleasing, romantic comedy is unapologetically Canadian, with Toronto's skylines and urban neighborhoods proudly on display. But it is also universally appealing, with a sense the story could take place just about any North American city.
Moving west of Toronto, the resort city of Banff, Alberta plays a starring role in Jeremiah Chechik's "The Right Kind of Wrong," which features "True Blood" actor Ryan Kwanten as a struggling writer who falls for the bride on her wedding day.
The formulaic rom-com failed to wow critics at the festival, but managed to nab a U.S. distribution deal with Magnolia Pictures.
Other Canadian-helmed titles looking for an audience include "Devil's Knot," a dramatic retelling of the notorious 1993 West Memphis murders by Academy Award-nominated director Atom Egoyan, and Xavier Dolan's new feature, "Tom on the Farm," which has been lauded as his most "commercially viable" effort.
For actor and director Don McKellar, who is at the festival with his third feature, "The Grand Seduction," the goal has never been to make it in Hollywood, but rather to have the freedom to make the films he wants to make.
"I tend to generate my owns things and I feel there's more support for that up here," he told Reuters. "And I think it would be very sad if I felt compromised down there doing some project I didn't believe in."
A remake of a popular French Canadian film, "The Grand Seduction" centers around a dying fishing village that needs to get a full-time doctor in order to get its own factory.
Praised by The Hollywood Reporter as a "charming, wholly commercial little comedy," some critics are suggesting it could be the breakout hit the Canadian industry has been hoping for.
That would be fine by McKellar, but the Toronto native has no plans to head south.
"I've done a couple of things and sort of flirted with the idea, but I know so many people who went down and were disappointed," he said. "All my friends in Hollywood are envious of what is happening up here in Canada."

As I announced last week, J-List have just recently replenished their chocolate stocks and my pal Peter has sent me a nice sampling package containing some of the latest Japanese chocolate snacks. Of course whenever we talk about Japanese chocolate snacks the words 'Kit Kat' are never far behind. Indeed, in this latest package Peter included the last hot property flavour available on the Japanese market - the 'Dark Bitter' variety. You may have noticed that this flavour has been in the top selling J-List snack chart for a fair few weeks, which is little surprise given that like most Kit Kat flavours in Japan it is only around as a limited edition.
This Kit Kat variety came in a box containing two 17.0g double finger serving sizes that I ate in a single sitting as an afternoon snack. The Japanese Kit Kats always have tendency for being immacutaly presented but this variety looked particularly classy with the box finished with a matted feel material and sparkling gold coloured fonts. As per usual the Kit Kat fingers inside were wrapped in foil wrappers and were kept in a lovely fresh condition emanating some delightful chocolatey scents when ripped open.
I have to admit I perhaps wasn't quite as intrigued about this variety as I had been with more some of the more unusual flavours I had sourced from Japan in the past. In the UK we obviously have a dark chocolate Kit Kat readily available to us all - this was a bar I reviewed back in September 2008 in which I concluded: 'I wouldn't say it was better than the standard Kit Kat, though nor would I say it was worse'. My grand hope for this Japanese variety was that it was going to take the dark chocolate flavour experience a stage further than our 'mass consumer friendly' dark chocolate offering. Unfortunately when it came to the taste test I pretty much came to the same conclusion about this Japanese bar than I did the UK one. The 'dark' chocolate coating in reality was what I like to call a 'mass consumer friendly' unsweetned chocolate. It was fair in it's flavour contribution and noticeably less sweet, however the cocoa volume was hardly turned up in the taste. The only real difference I percieved from the UK bar was that the texture of the chocolate melt was a little grittier and rougher in this Japanese version. This wasn't so much an annoyance or particularly noticceable, but it certainly wasn't to my preference. On a positive note the four finger portion was at least decent size for a mid-afternoon snack, and did me right in that sense.
Overall although I was a tiny weenie bit disappointed that this Japense Kit Kat Dark Bitter didn't provide a step change experience from our UK offering, at the end of the day it was still a very nice chocolate bar. Given the sweetness of a lot of the other Kit Kat varities I have tried from the Far East in the past it was probably a little naive of me hoping for a 70% Lindt dark chocolate experience. I'm not saying The dark chocolate coating on offer was bad in any way shape or form (it wasn't!), but I would absolutely love to try a Kit Kat one day that has a serious dark chocolate exterior - I guess one can dream. On the basis that our UK Kit Kat Dark is so similar, I can't go recommending this bar as a 'must try now' for all you readers. You still might want to keep your eyes on the J-List website however, as Peter has informed me there is due to be an influx of all new flavours very soon.

ASU's Laurel Carter named to national suicide prevention group
Adams State University's Suicide Prevention Outreach Coordinator, Laurel Carter, was named to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline's Consumer-Survivor Committee. A federally-funded public health service, the Lifeline project regularly engages expert collaborators, advisors, and partners. It is committed to reaching and serving all persons in the United States who are at risk of suicide through a national network of crisis centers.
"This is a significant recognition for Laurel," noted Gregg Elliott, director of Counseling & Career Services.
As part of her responsibilities, Laurel will travel to Baltimore for regular meetings to work directly with the Lifeline Board of Directors and will also serve on a workgroup responsible for specific tasks and/or product development between meetings. Lifeline members assist in developing public communication messages, culturally effective outreach approaches, and strategic partnerships that could assist in promoting the Lifeline to high risk groups.
Carter explained, "Part of the Lifeline's mission is to identify and improve the services it provides to high-risk populations. I hope to be able to identify gaps in services here at ASU, and use this committee's mission as a support and guide to bridge those gaps for our ASU community."
Grant-supported prevention
In 2011, Carter's position as Suicide Prevention Outreach Coordinator was created through a three-year, $225,000 Garrett Lee Smith Campus Suicide Prevention grant awarded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Carter is a 2010 graduate of ASU's Counselor Education MA program.
She has partnered with students and other personnel across campus to implement the first student-led, suicide prevention campaign, called SWAG: Suicide Watch Awareness Gang. The campaign's purpose is to promote an excitement for life and infinite possibility, instill hope and recovery, and foster an ASU community of connection and support. The campaign has brought much-needed awareness to the topic of suicide and has drawn individuals in an enthusiastic way to be a part of the mission. In its first year the campaign reached thousands of people within the university and community at large through the uplifting, educational, and healing events such as the fall's "1100 Reasons to Stay Alive and Connected" and last spring's Mental Health Awareness Week.
Carter serves on the ASU Campus Health and Safety Committee, and spends a large amount of her time reaching out to any person on campus who may be struggling with mental health concerns, building relationships, and connecting people to necessary resources. She trains campus and community members through ASIST Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training and safeTALK.
She also teaches the Prevention Awareness Crew course designed to provide preventative education to the ASU community, increase awareness of mental health concerns, and allow students the opportunity to take an active role in campus and community events aimed at prevention education. Carter is a member of the San Luis Valley Prevention Coalition and sits as chair-person for the Suicide Prevention subcommittee. She has spoken at various local community events on suicide intervention and prevention, including the "Day Without Hate Rally" for surrounding schools, monthly Community Lunch-n-Learns, and the Annual Parent Institute Conference.
High risk in San Luis Valley & Colorado
Suicide has always been a major concern for the SLV and for Colorado. The suicide rate for the SLV in 2009 was approximately 28 per 100,000, compared to the overall Colorado rate of 18.7 per 100,000, which ranked Colorado as the sixth worst state in the United States. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth and young adults in Colorado. The number of suicide deaths in 2010 in Colorado (867) exceeded the number of deaths from homicide (171), motor vehicle crash (480), influenza and pneumonia (549), and diabetes (721).

The All-American safety has given the Gators versatility this season.
NEW ORLEANS — When Matt Elam arrived at Florida, he knew what position he wanted to play.
"He wanted to play linebacker," said Florida senior Jon Bostic. "He said he just didn't have the height."
The 5-foot-10 defensive back didn't get any taller during his three years at UF, but he did get bigger. And the result in 2012 was an All-American season.
Elam became the big playmaker for Florida's defense this season with four interceptions, 10 tackles for a loss and what may have been the biggest play of the year with his strip of LSU wide receiver Odell Beckham in Florida's 14-6 win.
As Florida prepares to face Louisville in the Sugar Bowl on Wednesday night, Elam has been on the minds of the Cardinals players.
"He's a freak of nature," said Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
"He can wreck a game," said Louisville offensive coordinator Shawn Watson.
That's what Florida has been doing all season — wrecking offensive attacks in part because of Elam's versatility. He's got the speed to play safety and the physicality to play linebacker.
"I've got the heart of a linebacker," he said.
As a result, Florida has often walked Elam up to the line of scrimmage to be another defender in the box. And he has delivered.
But it wasn't always that way.
While Elam was part of the super-hyped 2010 recruiting class, his first two seasons mirrored what was happening at Florida. It wasn't that he was bad, but he wasn't great.
So when last season was over, he was challenged by Florida coach Will Muschamp and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
"I learned a lot from Coach Muschamp," Elam said. "Things I didn't know and things I thought I knew. But the big thing was that they challenged me to be more physical. Coach Muschamp said, 'You can't play soft in the SEC.'
"I knew that, but I wanted to prove that I'm not what you think. When he said we were soft (after last year's FSU game), I took that personally."
Elam's physicality has allowed Florida to move him around on the field.
"The biggest transformation to me that I've seen from my first year of coaching Matt to now is how physical he is," Quinn said. "And I think that really has to stem from the time and effort that he spent in the weight room changing. He's getting stronger.
"We play him at the line of scrimmage a lot, whether it's at safety or nickel. He can blitz. He can cover. But to me the physical style he plays with is one of the things that really jumps out on your team. Just the physical nature that a guy can bring to your club really is a huge advantage."
That physical nature has become his trademark. Elam said he still gets a hard time from teammate Loucheiz Purifoy for the hit he put on Purifoy after the defensive back made a nice tackle on an LSU punt return.
"I hear about it all the time," he said. "But that's my boy."

I expect this has something to do with TEST comms being so bad that even goons won't put up with it. I went on a joint fleet once - there were constant racial slurs, the usual tired sexist garbage, and some fuckwit with a voicechanger who wouldn't shut up.
If I'm on a stratop that's gotten as bad as you describe (which is rare) I sometimes drop into the "no chatter" sub channel. "No Chatter" makes it so you can only hear people in the command channels, it's pretty useful.
Honestly I think the problem with getting a group of ARSED together is we're evenly spread over the planet and most of us don't spend a whole lot of time logged in. It's not rare for me to be the only person in corp chat. We've gotten some ok small groups together on pre-planned weekend ops though.

It's simple, fun and perfect to serve company. Below, we share our recipe and video with tips for how to make the absolute best mimosa at home.

The Best Wine for Making a Mimosa Cocktail
Use a dry sparkling wine, not sweet. We usually will spend $12 to $15 on the sparkling wine we add to our mimosas. Your best bet is to look for "Cava," which comes from Spain or an American sparkling wine that's around $15. A dry Prosecco is a great option, too. Unless you've found something you absolutely love, don't go lower than $10 as that could lead to headache central.
The Orange Juice
If you can swing it, use freshly squeezed orange juice. We know it seems a little over the top, but when you consider half of the drink is made from juice, you want the best. Freshly squeezed OJ is a little lighter, a bit tart and more delicate than anything you can find in the store. With that said, when we're in a pinch, we'll use the "Simply" brand of orange juice.
YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: If you are looking for drinks for a crowd, our Classic Mojito Recipe is a perfect fit. You can make it for one or many. We love it so much, we've even shared our Fresh Blueberry Mojito, too.
The Ratio
A classic mimosa recipe calls for equal parts sparkling wine to orange juice. While we think this ratio tastes the best, if we're serving a crowd for brunch, we do hold back the wine a little. There is also the option to add a splash of orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or triple sec. We'll skip this and keep things a little lighter, but feel free to experiment yourself.
When you're making a mimosa, always add the sparkling wine first, then top with orange juice. This way, the cocktail mixes together on its own and won't make a sticky mess at the top of the glass. You don't need to stir as this will cause the wine to become flat.
Keep The Wine and the Orange Juice Chilled
The absolute worst thing you can do to a mimosa is serve it warm. Keep the wine and orange juice (or oranges if you are planning to juice them yourself) in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. Once you've poured everyone a drink, place everything back into the refrigerator until you're ready for a second round.

The eco-conscious city of Arcata is looking to latch onto a growing state and national trend called community choice aggregation, which seeks to broaden the energy choices available to local consumers.
"The drive is to get greener electricity, for hopefully about the same price," said Jim Zoellick, who serves on the Arcata Energy Committee and is a research engineer at Humboldt State University's Schatz Energy Research Center.
If the effort succeeds, Arcata would be the first municipality in Humboldt County to implement such a program. In California, CCAs, as they are known, are mostly being run as countywide projects. Marin is the only county in the state with a CCA, but Sonoma, Santa Cruz, San Luis Obisbo, San Francisco and Monterey counties are all in the process of creating similar programs.
Outside California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio, New Jersey and Rhode Island have municipalities with CCAs. Illinois has 237 CCAs alone.
The CCA system in California was enabled by Assembly Bill 117 in 2002. It allowed local governments to buy electricity for residents and businesses from wholesale markets -- and it required PG&E to continue delivering the electricity over its existing distribution system. PG&E also must continue providing services like metering and billing. Customers have the choice to buy electricity from PG&E or the CCA.
"It's a way for the community to have more choice for where their power comes from," Zoellick said.
He said the city has discussed it for "quite a few years," and that Arcata had wanted to see how CCAs took shape elsewhere.
How it works
Arcata City Councilman Michael Winkler, also an energy analyst for Redwood Energy, explained that when residents opt into a CCA renewable energy program, they're not guaranteeing that their light bulbs and appliances are actually being powered by those renewable "green" electrons that they paid for. Rather, "you have certification that those green electrons are going into the (electricity) grid," he said.
Karen Diemer, Arcata deputy director of environmental services, explained there are two components of renewable energy. There's the actual energy itself, produced by something like a wind or solar farm. Then there are renewable energy credits, or certificates, that are paired with that power. They are like a "premium pricing" deal, she said, which encourages renewable energy production growth.
The renewable energy credit, or REC, also provides proof for the customer -- like the city of Arcata -- that they bought the energy from a renewable producer like a wind farm. The credits can be bought and traded separate of the energy itself -- another tactic used to encourage more renewable energy growth.
"You could either physically contract with a wind farm and buy that power," Zoellick said. Or, a municipality could buy energy locally, renewable or not, and buy the renewable credits from somewhere else.
Several options
Diemer has mostly headed up the effort locally to create an Arcata CCA. She said there are several different ways the city could put into place such a program.
Arcata could team up with the already-existing CCA in Marin County. Customers there can already choose between a 50 percent renewable electricity program, which costs about the same as PG&E, or a 100 percent renewable program, which costs $5 to $7 more than normal PG&E rates, Diemer said.
They could also join a soon-to-be created Sonoma County CCA, which will at least initially offer a lower "renewable portfolio" to customers -- about 33 percent. Arcata would piggyback on Marin or Sonoma's existing infrastructure, which would make the CCA here easier to get off the ground, according to Diemer. The process of joining could take 12 to 18 months, she said, and could make purchasing energy cheaper.
One longer-term option is to create an independent CCA in Humboldt County. Diemer said she'd also like to exhaust any possibility of working with other local jurisdictions to create an independent CCA before Arcata makes the commitment to join either Marin or Sonoma. But even if the city did join the southern counties' CCAs, Arcata could opt out eventually and integrate with a local CCA effort, once it got off the ground in five years or so, Diemer said.
The Redwood Coast Energy Authority has discussed the possibility of a CCA with Arcata for several years, she said. But she added that a countywide, independent CCA is likely to remain quite a ways off.
Finally, the city -- with the help of a California-based company called Local Power, which helps cities develop local renewable energy sources -- could opt for building a CCA gradually. The city could look at a neighborhood's energy demands, for example, and install solar panels on roofs to meet the demand for alternative energies, Diemer said.
One possibility not yet being considered, she said, is for Arcata to create its own independent CCA as a city, by buying its own renewable power from elsewhere.
"It's too large of a venture" for such a small community, Diemer said.
Arcata moves forward
Joining the Marin or Sonoma CCA seems to be the most realistic short-term option, both Diemer and Zoellick said. City council members also voiced support for those two options at the Dec. 19 meeting. Arcata Mayor Shane Brinton said he wants the program to be a priority in 2013.
Diemer said the city council's goal is to have Arcata "CCA-ready" soon, so they could jump on board with Marin or Sonoma. If they do the pre-work, the city could "shop this with different CCAs."
The pre-work that needs to be done includes measuring Arcata's electricity "load" -- things like how many customers might opt for the program, how much power is used on an hourly basis in the city and the city's base and peak energy needs.
Adopting a CCA is popular among Arcata residents, Diemer said. "From all the meetings the energy committee has had, there is a lot of support," she said.
Joining CCAs in Marin or Sonoma might not come without hiccups, though, she said.
"Would they allow Arcata to leave at a certain point in time?" Diemer said. If infrastructure is eventually put in place for Humboldt County itself to create its own independent CCA, she said, Arcata would naturally want to join that. And due to various longer-term energy contracts, it could be challenging to pull away from those deals.
A contract with either Sonoma or Marin counties would likely last a minimum of five years, she said.
"Someone's got to step out in the lead (locally)," Zoellick said. "I applaud Arcata for looking at it as closely as they're doing."
